    Central to the curriculum is the integration of skills instruction with subject area curricula through classroom collaborations. It is vital that students master information literacy skills such as the abilities to retrieve, organize, analyze, interpret, evaluate, synthesize and present information. When library instruction is correlated with classroom learning, students have the opportunity to apply information literacy skills to reinforce and extend their understanding of grade level/subject area curricula. 
       

    Technology in the Library

    Library Tech
    All district libraries are fully networked and provide filtered Internet access to a wealth of information, including subscription databases and encyclopedias. Each of the fifteen elementary school libraries contains a lab for technology instruction and access to educational software. Secondary libraries are also well-equipped with computers and other multimedia equipment to support the technological needs and education of our students.
